SAINTS second rower Zeb Taia has urged the fans to stop throwing beer at games after an incident last night when his wife was hit with a plastic beer bottle.

There were scenes of jubilation on Headingley's Western Terrace when Ryan Morgan crossed for the equalising try, but some of the celebrations went too far.

Taia tweeted: "Great win tonight from the boys!!! But need to address something... I love how our fans react to winning big games like that but please have respect to who ever is in the crowd with you guys!!! My wife copped a plastic beer bottle to the head after the Ryan Morgan Try..."

It is an issue that has plagued the club at away games on occasion this year - and although only done by a minority is having an impact.

He was supported by several others on social media who were equally appalled by a moment of celebration being marred by a small, anti-social element.
